[antlr-interest] How to get information on the tokens that produced a tree node?

[Gonzague Reydet]

Thank you for the reply Jim!
Actually I did not know what keyword to search for my question in
markmail...

I did not tried again since your reply but I remember from my initial
investigation that the tokens' information of the start & end base tree
only gave information of the node position on the AST, not the line and
character number in the input file.
Am I wrong?

Gonzague
